 Scalish is Sport's First Rookie of the Year

FLW rookies Harmon Davis and John Crews didn't place high enough at the Champlain FLW to displace BASSMASTER Tour rookie Frank Scalish from his spot at the top of the BassFan.com Rookie of the Year standings. So Cleveland, Ohio's Scalish is pro bass fishing's first Rookie of the Year.

Davis had by far his worst finish at Champlain (136th), far short of the 25th or better needed to overtake Scalish. Crews needed to place 3rd or better to beat Scalish, but ended up in 96th.

Note: Arkansans David Cochran and Ron Weiss were disqualified for not fishing a full season. Cochran skipped two events and Weiss skipped one.

About the ROY Race
 The BassFan Rookie of the Year Race/Award recognizes the best rookie in all of tour-level professional fishing for the current year or season. Unlike the league rookie races, only true rookies are eligible: To qualify as a rookie for the BassFan race, a tour angler cannot have fished the pro (boater) side of any Bassmaster or FLW tour/series-level event before.

  • BassFan Rookie of the Year Race points are calculated using a methodology loosely similar to the BassFan World Rankings (points based on finish with bonuses given for winning and finishing high). Only regular-season events count. Championships do not.
     
  • The BassFan Rookie of the Year Race was created in 2002 as the first rookie race in professional bass fishing. Like Rookie of the Year awards in all sports, it recognizes top-performing newcomers to the professional ranks.

Everything on BassFan.com, including BassFan Radio and the various BassFan ranking methodologies, is copyright BassFan LLC except where noted (notably photo credits).
